Twenty-seven patients with 30 crossover toe (COT) deformities of the second toe were evaluated. This deformity in the transverse and sagittal planes at the second metatarsophalangeal joint may be caused by hindfoot pronation. Compression of the lateral plantar nerve may produce incompetence of the second dorsal interosseous muscle and an increased extension-adduction pull by the lumbrical and first dorsal interosseous muscles. A surgical procedure for tenodesis is described to correct these deformities and restore the extrinsic-intrinsic musculotendinous balance at the second MTP joint. Our results are encouraging, with 83% good or excellent results. There was one recurrence.

[Purpose] Although hallux function is fundamental in maintaining forward leaning standing posture, the insight into whether noncontact of the hallux with the ground alters the forward limit of stability (LoS) remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to determine the effects of the unilateral hallux noncontact on the forward LoS while standing. [Participants and Methods] This study included 17 healthy young and 17 community-dwelling older adults.

Amount of serial sitting and standing movements has been employed in clinical and research settings to assess legs' muscular strength. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to test the correlation between the 30-s sit-to-stand power test (30STSp) outcome and body balance in older adults. We evaluated physically active male and female (n = 51) individuals with an age range of 60-80 years (M = 69.

Article Synopsis
- Knee pain often involves varus deformity and unicompartmental osteoarthritis, where high tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) has emerged as an effective treatment option to delay joint replacement.
- A case report highlighted two patients with bilateral knee arthritis who underwent medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy using Dr. Saigal's plate, both achieving good range of motion and minimal complications post-surgery.
- Comprehensive evaluations, including radiological assessments and specific surgical techniques like the Miniaci Method, were employed to ensure successful outcomes, with both patients showing significant improvement after one year.

A 21-year-old male laborer sustained bilateral degloving injury of the hands with multiple digital amputations and devascularized digits. After X-rays, preliminary debridement was done, when digital amputations were completed, including index ray amputation on both sides. The next day, two anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps and one second toe transfer were done to restore coverage in the palm and the web and reconstruct the lost thumb.
